I am in the same pickle. Had my entires propane system redone 3 years ago, never used it and now the tank is off my boat and in the back yard. Tank appears to be full. Read the failure rate but no information where this failure occurs especially with the small tanks which have the least problems. Because of the recall I don't think most places will refill them now. Nobody wants to deal with these to recapture the propane and I was told to hook it up to my grill and just burn it off. If there is a failure how safe is this practice? Now I need a 10 lb horizontal tank which are not that common and quite pricy if aluminum.
